By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.

I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.

Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.

When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I {am} the LORD. {destitute...: Heb. desolate from the fulness thereof}

This {is} the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, {even} for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
